The LDCRC wishes to congratulate Dr. Jeremiah Stanley who was recently awarded the prestigious Marie Skłodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellowship.
Dr Stanley will undertake the two-year Fellowship at the University of Limerick, working with Professor Paul Murray, member of the LDCRC leadership team and will be based in the Bernal Institute to study the role of platelet serotonin and tryptophan metabolism in EBV-driven oncogenesis.
Dr Stanley earned his PhD from Yokohama City University, Japan, where he studied virus-host interactions in chronic viral illness. He worked as a postdoctoral researcher at RCSI Bahrain, focusing on Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) latency. His MD in Microbiology from Christian Medical College, Vellore, India, enables a holistic understanding of viral pathogenesis, bridging clinical insights with molecular mechanisms.
Dr. Stanley stated, "I am grateful for the support offered by the UL research office, which was essential for the success of my MSCA application. This fellowship offers an excellent opportunity to work under the guidance of Prof. Murray at UL and collaborate with experts from premier institutions in Vienna, Zurich, and New York. This interdisciplinary team will be instrumental in uncovering viral mechanisms of cancer development and identifying novel therapeutic targets"
